You forgot?

Geez. How could I? I spent about two weeks in the Holiday Inn in Port Arthur after we got back in town about 6:30am the Saturday morning of the storm. The winds were still blowing our cars around.

[KFDM COOP]

Why did you get back so soon?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I was drinking a 40 that morning trying to find family members.    I hate RITA!  >
